Answer
Ryan: Might check to see if you have a bent tie-rod or you could have a bent rim which the tire sits on. And that other person is right, though in a way as your tires could be cupped or something on that order. But still you could think the person doing the wheel alignment would have seen that but maybe not. As they were not looking at your tires, you might try putting different tires on the front and see what happens, other wise you will have to go deeper into the front end, as the car might have been in some kind of an crash and something got bent does not take much. Have you looked at the tires yourself, can you see where the tire is starting to wear? That would explain a lot too. You should go out and buy youself a repair manual for your car, they cost around $20.00 and well worth the money as in that manual it would explain the whole front end to you so you would know what to be checking. Oh most parts stores sell these manuals. I hope this helps and God bless: Linda
